Visual aspect: coppery hue with brilliance. Nose: elegant; caramel with notes of prune, candied orange. Discreet note of slightly vanilla-scented woodiness. Palate: pure and vivid first taste; final taste on caramel, long-lasting and warm. Gourmet pairings: smoked salmon on brioche bread with aniseed. Comments: a pleasant Cognac which deserves some more ageing.
